Chapter 116: The Scarlet River

Over the years, he Zuo Liangyu has experienced ups and downs in the Huguang area, and he has been defeated miserably several times, but in the end, hasn't he all recovered again? So this time it's the same, with his Zuo Liangyu's ability, there is no problem with a comeback.

And in history, Zuo Liangyu is indeed a tumbler, repeatedly defeated, and even beaten by Zhang Xianzhong several times There are only a few hundred people left, but in the blink of an eye, he can immediately gather tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people and horses, and he is still rampant in the Huguang area, thinking about the words of his subordinates, it also makes sense, although he was defeated very badly this time, but at least his life is still there, as long as he escapes from here, he will be able to pull up people and horses immediately if he changes places, and it is easy to do without money, and the soldiers will rob it, anyway, over the years, The imperial court didn't give him enough food and salary, and he didn't raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers by himself, so as long as he lived, he had a way!

After figuring this out, Zuo Liangyu didn't care about the money and his family, so he was carried on a boat by his subordinates, so he ordered to quickly lift the anchor, go down the river, and rush in the direction of Yuezhou.

Seeing Zuo Liangyu boarding the ship, many of Zuo Liangyu's old troops rushed the boat one after another, and wanted to board the boat and escape together, but at this time, there was a sound of killing in the north of the city, and it was estimated that the Xingtian army had already invaded the city, and a large number of Zuo Liangyu's men were rushing towards the south of the city, when they saw that Zuo Liangyu had boarded the boat, and a large number of ships were controlled by the mutinous sailors and sailed away from the riverbank, leaving only a small number of ships on the riverside, so these routs began to rush to grab the boat, and many people fled in order to grab the boat. He even used a knife against the people around him.

Everyone has a knife anyway, and you can use a knife Lao Tzu also uses a knife, so in order to grab the boat, the defeated soldiers did it themselves by the river, killing a bloody person all over the place, and dyeing the water by the river red.

In order to prevent the ship from being overturned, the people on the boat slashed at those who were on the side of the boat, and cut off many arms and fingers with a chatter, and many of them fell into the river screaming and drowned alive.

In short, in order to escape for their lives at this time, it doesn't matter what official position they have, the important thing is to be able to get on the boat, in order to rush to get on the boat, many of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were killed by their own people on the riverside.

Some of the soldiers who could not board the boat, while scolding, simply lit rockets and shot arrows at the boats, but some of the ships were actually burned by them, burning some of the officers and men who had already boarded the boats and jumping into the river screaming.

The wharf in the south of Jingzhou City is now completely chaotic, not only that, but there are still some ships on the river that are controlled by the rebels, after killing those officers and soldiers loyal to Zuo Liangyu on the boat, the rebels simply sail to the shore, set up arrows or artillery, and fire at Zuo Liangyu's men gathered on the shore, which aggravates the chaos on the riverside.

Some of the ships, under the control of the rebels, began to chase and kill the ships that were crawling with officers and soldiers, and for a time a big battle began on the water.

Liu Jiangzhi proudly stood on a 100-man warship, commanded more than a dozen of his men to operate the boats, picked out the small boats of some officers and soldiers on the river, went on a rampage, knocked over several small boats full of officers and soldiers, and then he led some people to stand by the boat, and stabbed many officers and soldiers to death in the river with his spear.

At this time, a man pointed to a big boat that was sailing away from the river and shouted, "Left thief! Zuo Liangyu, that bastard, is in that boat! They're going to run! ”

Liu Jiang turned his head and looked, isn't it! A general in gold armor is directing his subordinates to operate the boat on that boat, and he wants to escape down the river, who is it not Zuo Liangyu?

"Gather the brothers, quickly inform Yang Dutong, hurry up and catch up, block the left thief, can't let him escape! The handsome man has a life, whoever catches the left thief will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! Confer the position of camp general! Catch up! Liu Jiang shouted at the top of his throat, and after several nearby boats heard it, they also focused their attention on the boat where Zuo Liangyu was, and chased after Zuo Liangyu's boat.

At this time, there were several boats controlled by Zuo Liangyu's subordinates who also followed Zuo Liangyu, so dozens of boats fought on the river, water warfare is not as good as land warfare, although it also emphasizes battle formations, but at this time the river is chaotic into a swarm of bees, where can anyone organize a battle! The rebels on the boat and Zuo Liangyu's men fired at each other with bows on the water, and from time to time some ships bombarded each other with small cannons, and the fight was very lively.

Yang Kunshan also controlled the boat on a large boat at this time, he was ordered to rush over the Han River, and after disguise, he followed Liu Jiang to sneak into the water camp, where he commanded the water camp mutiny.

He was led by Liu Jiang two days in advance, sneaked into the Zuojun water camp, where there are a large number of Liu Jiang's friends and relatives, who have already sharpened their knives and are about to do it, after learning that Yang Kunshan is the identity of the deputy commander of the Xingtian Army Water Battalion, these people are very excited, and at the same time feel that they have the backbone, so they escorted Yang Kunshan to hide in the water camp on several boats they controlled, and with these boats, they began to secretly speed up the contact with friends and relatives on each boat, and joined the ranks of the mutiny. It can be said that Zuo Liangyu completely harmed the people in Jingzhou, as soon as he heard that the mutiny took refuge in the Xingtian Army, most of the people immediately raised their hands and feet in favor, some people were not very willing, but they were immediately killed and secretly sank into the river, so after Yang Kunshan arrived at the left army water camp, he quickly controlled about half of the left army water camp boats, and also contacted some people on the boats, even if they failed to capture the boat, at least they set fire to the boat, and they could not leave it to Zuo Liangyu to let them run away.

After everything was ready, although some rumors were also revealed, people from all parts of the left camp fled every day, and there were too many rumors of mutiny, Zuo Liangyu's main attention was on dealing with the Xingtian Army, just let his son Zuo Mengeng go to the water camp to control the situation in the water camp, and Zuo Mengeng was even more brutal, after arriving at the water camp, he indiscriminately arrested a group of people and killed many people, not only did not be able to calm the situation, but aroused the resentment of more water pawns.

Just last night, Xiao Tianjian thought about it for a long time, but he still made up his mind to attack the city, and he expected that he would definitely be able to break through Jingzhou City today, so he sent someone to send a message to Liu Jiang overnight, and agreed to start an incident today.

Yang Kunshan and Liu Jiang immediately arranged to go down, just when the cannon in the north of the city was loud, they also began to move in the water camp, and the people who had already been contacted on the various ships began to kill Zuo Liangyu's cronies who were stationed on the ships, and soon controlled many ships in their hands, all the controlled ships first anchored and sailed into the river, and then began to set fire to the ships on the docks, and set fire to several ships full of Zuo Liangyu's family members, burning many of Zuo Liangyu's family members, and at the same time setting fire to several docks, made it impossible for the remnants of Zuo Liangyu to board the ship.

Although they failed to control all the ships, but the mutiny together, they still controlled a lot of ships, although some of the remaining sailors on the ship did not have contact, but they also began to respond to the situation and joined the mutiny, so when Zuo Liangyu arrived at the dock, the whole situation was basically controlled by Yang Kunshan and Liu Jiang, most of the ships were either controlled by them and sailed away from the river, or set fire to the dock, and only a small number of ships were controlled by Zuo Liangyu's men, But it is no longer enough to meet the number of Zuo Liangyu leading his troops to escape!

Of course, there are also a considerable number of ships, the mutineers did not succeed in controlling it, but because they were frightened, these ships immediately left the river and fled to the river, and they originally wanted to turn back to the shore to rescue those accomplices on the shore, but when they saw that Zuo Liangyu's subordinates on the shore actually fought in order to grab the boat, it was a mess, and even after firing arrows and guns on the river, even Zuo Liangyu's subordinates on these boats did not dare to sail towards the shore again. I was afraid that I would accidentally get caught up in this chaos and lose my life in vain, so I simply abandoned it and fled early by sailing by myself.

Therefore, although Yang Kunshan and Liu Jiang were unable to control the absolute majority of the ships, they successfully destroyed Zuo Liangyu's plan to lead his troops to escape, and blocked a large number of Zuo Liangyu's cronies on the riverbank.

Seeing that there was no hope of boarding the boat and escaping, some of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates who were smarter stopped wandering around the riverside, and simply walked out of the south gate and fled along the riverbank, hoping to escape and ascend to heaven.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian had already supervised the army to break through the north gate of Jingzhou City, and a large number of angry Xingtian soldiers swarmed in from the city wall and the open city gate.

A large number of officers and soldiers who were forced to come here threw down the weapons in their hands at this time, knelt all over the streets, and begged to surrender to the Xingtian Army.

By this time, Zuo Liangyu had fled, and the remaining subordinates loyal to him in the city had lost their unified command, so they could only follow some generals to fight separately, resist street by street in the city, or hide in some courtyards to resist, of course, some people quickly surrendered and tried to save their lives.

But these Zuo Liangyu's cronies who surrendered were immediately identified, and they were pulled out by the subordinates of the Xingtian Army without saying a word and directly chopped off on the street, and now whether it is the subordinates of the Xingtian Army or the local people who were forced to be soldiers, they all hate these unscrupulous bastards, as long as they catch them, they will be killed directly, and there are not many people who care about killing prisoners or not.

As for those who resisted stubbornly on the streets, the Xingtian Army immediately transferred firecrackers to block the streets, or climbed up the houses in large numbers and fired from all directions to block them in the streets, slaughtering them in groups, and if anyone occupied the courtyard to resist, they threw thunderbolts, torches, and canisters of fire oil into the courtyard, set the entire courtyard on fire, and then surrounded the hospital and burned them alive in the courtyard.

After a large number of Xingtian troops entered the city, they rushed all the way to the wharf, when they killed to the wharf, the left army here itself in order to grab the boat and kill a river of blood, but was blocked by the Xingtian army in the river, a big kill, drove countless left troops into the river, many officers and soldiers struggled on the river, and the generals of the Xingtian army had no sympathy, and continued to shoot at them on the shore like a target, so that the river on the river surface was completely dyed red, and countless corpses floated on the river, and its condition was unbearable.
